The St. Pierre Fire Department was called to a barn fire just over 2 miles east of St. Pierre on LaFourche Road around 8 Wednesday evening.

Deputy Fire Chief Chris Harvey says the bulk of the fire was in the attic of an old barn.

"The north side of the building is burnt and parts of the attic but a large portion of the south side is still intact, it might have some smoke damage. We've got it under control, just trying to get some of the hot spots in the attic."

Harvey says no one was injured in the fire and there didn't seem to be any animals in the barn. He adds the cause of the fire isn't known at the moment.

St. Malo Fire Department was also on scene assisting with the fire.
